lessons learned

Ten Things I learned on Winter ’09 voyage:

1. Pies made out of sour patch kids aren’t good.
2. The snow-covered beach at Grand Haven, while gorgeous, probably isn’t the best place to go in a snow storm.
3. Buying a playstation 3 will make my life better
4. Boots by Blowfish are amazing (seriously, check out the pic)

5. Ice skating is just as fun as I remembered it being
6. Mom’s cooking tastes better when yr diet consists mostly of fast food
7. Corpus Christi has just as fickle weather as Grand Rapids, only, ya know, without the snow
8. I need to meet more people in NYC
9. Being away for 4 months changes things, but also doesn’t
10. Friends are awesome

(bonus #11: When yr suitcase is already over-filled, don’t buy clothes on yr vacation)
